I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and offered stunning sunset views, the service was top-notch, and the location, though slightly out of the city center, provided a peaceful retreat. However, the dining options were limited, and the facilities could use some updating.

I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, perfect for traveling with a toddler. However, the amenities were minimal, but the balcony was a nice touch. The staff was extremely helpful with every request, which made my experience even better. The location was fairly close to the town center, making it convenient for exploring. The dining options were limited to just iconic sandwiches, but the included meals were decent. Overall, a good value for money stay.

The hotel is ideally situated by the river, offering a peaceful atmosphere and easy access to the Santa Clara bridge just 1 km away. The rooms are spacious with a wide balcony, perfect for families with a toddler. While the dining menu includes hot dishes, the location is slightly out of the city center. The service is impeccable with attentive staff, although some may find the initial price not the best value for money.

This hotel was a great find for me. The rooms were equipped with nice amenities, perfect for my devices, and had a very good layout for my toddler. They even provided an extra bed for my child, which was a big plus. The service was exceptional, with everyone being very helpful, from the reception desk to room service and housekeeping. The location was convenient, near the train and bus station, making it easy to explore the historical district. On the downside, the dining options were limited, and some facilities could use improvement.

The hotel has a nice spot by the river and is fairly close to the city center. The rooms are spacious and great for traveling with a toddler, though the view is not impressive. The service is top-notch with helpful staff. The dining offers a delicious vermicelli option, but the location by the river might not be as scenic as expected.

My stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable. The rooms were spacious, with a big bathroom and even had chairs on the patio, making it very comfortable. However, there was a slight issue with the pricing. The service was exceptional, with the staff being very helpful with each request. The location, although out of the city center, was still close enough to be convenient. The dining experience, while including focaccia bread, could use some improvement.
